stupid box...thing

[Pumpkin]

I am currently in Taejins Tower and I have to defeat that box thing for that statue thing if anyone knows what I am talking about. Hes got two robot things with him.... anyways.

He keeps whooping my butt like hardcore. I spent HOURS building up, and then had my poor boyfriend spend another few hours building up and he still whoops my ass.

Any one have any tips please?

Can you be more specific by naming the enemy or even the number assigned to the mission you are on? I never had any trouble so hopefully I can be of assistance.

I think its called an ambling bellows or something? Its on the second tier after the giant flan

Oh, wait, do you mean the machine like box with the huge arms that stretch out horizontally? Hammer it (and the other machines) with lightning. Be sure to get haste put on your characters first, and it doesn't hurt to buff up your characters magic, either. Get it to break (I forget the word for this, I think it was break...) and then just hit it with your physical attacks and it should die pretty easily. Basically, you want to be quick and heal rarely. The smaller guys should be a piece of cake but they will constantly be regenerated when they are killed, so I would focus more on the big guy than the little ones.

I would say more but this is all going purely by memory. It never hurts to do a Libra at the very start of battle so that your characters don't waste time using fire, ice, etc. when all they need is lightning. It also helps to use one of those items that automatically puts your characters onto haste at the start of battle.

But I could... I could die.

If youre talking about the ambling bellows:
I had Fang as sentinel so she took all the damage while the others buff up your party. Then I still kept Fang as sentinel while the others spammed the ambling bellows with magic until it got staggered. Then I just changed the paragrims so that I had two commandos and one ravager. I think my party was hope, lightning and fang.

When the ambling bellows is staggered and if you are struggling, Bahamut is pretty useful too... And heal when necessary.

Nice strategy, that.

Also: Staggered! That's the word I was looking for, not 'break'. And if you want a very fast stagger, use two Ravagers and one Commando. If you want really good damage once they are staggered, use three Commandos.

I kicked his butt!

Thanks for the advice

Haha. Killed that also and now I'm stuck with the robot that is summoning robots over and over again. I have 2 medics by the way. Maybe I need to level up again.
